“The hiring fee is 50 gold coins. Please pay in advance!”
Elsa repeated herself when Chen Bing did not respond.
“Take it.”
There was no point arguing. Chen Bing took out 50 gold coins and put them in Elsa’s pale, white palm.
Elsa’s eyes sparkled as she received the sparkling gold coins.
Elsa raised her staff and dutifully added a handful of blood to the battle angel, and counted the gold coins one by one in front of Chen Bing. She then put the coins into her pocket, leaving Chen Bing speechless.
She really was summoned by the Djinn…she loves gold coins as much as the Djinn!
“Rest assured, I guarantee that he will not die when I’m here!”
Elsa changed her usual frigid look. A pair of dimples appeared on her cheeks as she smiled towards Chen Bing. She patted her underdeveloped washboard-like bosom and spoke with a nice attitude.
One of Elsa’s life credos was to treat her master as passionately as she treated god! Especially when she was paid good money!
One by one, the healing skills were released from Elsa’s hand and covered the battle angel.
The battle angel’s blood volume was decreasing rapidly by the second. After Elsa intervened, its blood volume started returning to normal.
Chen Bing did a double-take. He acknowledged the fact that Elsa’s blood replenishing power was quite respectable.
Roughly estimating, Elsa’s skill level was of Grand Master level, but she possessed various types of strong healing equipment and techniques. Her healing power was no less than that of a Legendary Master, and even her cooldowns were especially fast.
The Six-Winged battle angel was marching with full strength. However, it was utterly destroyed by the Lich King and it even abandoned Chen Bing. With Elsa’s reinforcement, the Six-Winged battle angel retaliated furiously. Tens of thousands of damage points appeared above the Lich King’s head, and his health decreased rapidly.
“Damned clerics!”
Nordling the Lich King was enraged and flew towards Elsa with a bone spear.
Elsa was shocked. She was so focused on controlling hatred and did not expect the Lich King to ambush her just like that. It was too late to hide.
Even worse, the bone spear suddenly split open, forming tens of smaller bone spurs, all of them wickedly sharp.
Elsa only had 50000 health. It would have been an insta-kill if she got struck by that many bones.
Thonk!
At that moment, Chen Bing brought out a tall black shield and blocked Elsa with it.
Dingdingding…
A flurry of collision noise could be heard as the bone spurs were blocked by the shield. Elsa was totally unhurt.
“Add your blood when you reach the tree. Take care of yourself, I might not be there next time.”
Chen Bing hurriedly dragged Elsa behind a tree to hide.
His specialty was not of a knight nor a shield warrior, but a berserker. His block was a built-in ability from the black shield, which had a cooldown of five minutes. As he did not have any specialization in shield utilization, his cooldown time had a doubling-up penalty. He would have to wait for another ten minutes before he could use it again, and he could not block for Elsa anymore.
“That moron does not make any sense at all, unleashing his attack in such a manner!”
Elsa grumbled while complaining.
“He is a Lich King and you are a priest. There is no logic and reason here. Be careful now; don’t let him get another chance for an opening.”
Chen Bing spoke with frustration in his tone.
Elsa was not wrong in that sense. With a battle angel’s output, Elsa should not have pulled the Lich King’s hatred away that fast.
The Lich King was not a normal BOSS after all. Usual prediction principles did not apply here.
She did not need Chen Bing’s warning anyway. After being attacked once, Elsa became extremely careful.
After her cooldown had reset, she reached out to observe and ensure that the Lich King’s attention was not on her. Only then did she unleash some skills towards the battle angel and hide behind the tree again.
Whenever the Lich King stared angrily at her, she immediately retreated behind the tree like a tortoise retreating into its shell, not daring to take any risks.
Therefore, the blood volume of the battle angel started to drop again.
However, Elsa had received the money from Chen Bing and guaranteed that she would get the job done. She still had some work ethic after all.
As she saw that the battle angel’s blood level was reaching a dangerous level, she would grit her teeth and fight face-to-face with the Lich King, quickly throwing a few healing skills towards the battle angel.
She moved very carefully. If the Lich King even moved a single muscle, she would run back to the tree at lightning speed.
The Lich King was so angry that he let out a loud roar when his blood level dropped to a dangerous level. Ultimates were continuously hurled towards the battle angel.
The battle angel looked much weaker in comparison to him.
With Elsa replenishing its blood, the battle angel’s life force was weak. However, to Chen Bing’s surprise, the battle angel had very few ultimates and it was in an uphill battle. He thought to himself that this battle angel was trash.
“Sea of Bones!”
With little health left, the Lich King roared angrily, and a few hundred bone spurs rose from the ground and pierced towards the battle angel.
The battle angel had only ten percent of its life left. It would be an insta-kill whichever way it tried to counter the Sea of Bones.
The Lich King had long set up his strategy to eliminate the battle angel. Then, he would not be afraid of Chen Bing, even if he had almost no more life force left.
“I’ve waited for you for a long time!”
‘Divine Protection!”
Chen Bing feared that the battle angel would just be finished like that. Finally, the low-quality battle angel unleashed an awesome ultimate.
Golden rays started shining from the wings of the six-winged battle angel, decreasing the damage done by the bone spurs that pierced through it by a large percentage.
The battle angel’s blood volume was decreased only a little even by the sheer amount of bone spurs that pierced through it. However, it still remained alive with that little bit of health.
Divine Protection had another effect, and it enabled the near-death battle angel to enter invincibility mode!
Under invincibility mode, the battle angel managed to withstand all the Lich King’s attacks and furiously lashed out towards the Lich King.
Damage points started stacking up on the Lich King’s head, and his blood level started to drop rapidly.
Chen Bing was anxiously waiting for the last hit on the Lich King. Nothing would drop if the Lich King was killed by the battle angel. However, if he had the last hit, the Lich King might drop something useful.
However, looking at the bone spurs that pierced through the ground, Chen Bing panicked and dared not move hastily.
The Lich King just needed a few bone spurs to finish him off.
“Damn you, invaders! Even if I, Nordling, were to die, I would never let you have your way!”
Faced with the battle angel in invincible mode, the Lich King could not hold his ground. As he died, he let out a roar of discontent.
A black ray of light emerged from Nordling’s chest and floated in the air. Suddenly, it changed its direction and started charging towards Chen Bing.
Damn! A homing attack!
But it was not completely unavoidable. Chen Bing immediately swerved backward.
Elsa, who was beside him, distanced herself immediately and glared at him intensely.
F*ck, she wanted to collect my body after I’m killed!
The black light charged toward Chen Bing. He immediately ran behind a tree, waiting for the black light.
As he saw the black light almost colliding with him, Chen Bing rolled behind a big tree.
The black light immediately changed direction and continued pursuing, smashing into the tree’s trunk.
It was still not over for Chen Bing. The black light simply passed through the grey trunk.
As he heard the sound of it, Chen Bing was shocked to find out that the tree trunk was not enough to block the black light either.
It was too late to escape.
However, Chen Bing had a final move. As the black light passed through the tree, he shouted loudly, “Summon!”
The six-winged battle angel was summoned and blocked in front of him.
Zip!
The black light pierced into the battle angel’s body.
“You despicable moron!”
The six-winged battle angel gritted his teeth while looking at Chen Bing, and rolled onto the ground with a thud.
As the black light was following Chen Bing, the invincibility mode of the six-winged battle angel was gone. Elsa was waiting to help Chen Bing out and did not add blood for the battle angel. The battle angel’s health was completely depleted, as it was summoned by Chen Bing to be a shield.
“Haha, it wasn’t on purpose!”
Chen Bing was amused. He purely wanted the battle angel to be a body shield, and genuinely did not want to kill it.
However it was already dead, and Chen Bing definitely should not let it go to waste.
Before the body disappeared, Chen Bing threw a legendary master level looting skill towards the battle angel. A shiny crystal appeared in Chen Bing’s hand.
[System: Received ‘Angelic Crystal’]
[Item: Angelic Crystal]
[Type: Special consumables]
[Quality: Dark Gold]
[Able to bring back to base: No]
[Usage: A crystal that has immense divine power]
[Explanation: A crystal condensed from the energy of an angel that died, and it has a special function. Never let the Angel Clan know that you possess this crystal, or else you will be hunted down by them!]
Ha, an angelic crystal. That’s good stuff there, even if the Lich King did not release anything, the battle angel compensated for it.
Elsa, who was waiting to loot Chen Bing’s body, ran over and eyed the angelic crystal in his hand hungrily.
Chen Bing scanned Elsa’s greedy face. “You want it?”
“I want! Give it to me!” Elsa nodded like a chicken.
“In your dreams. If you want it, exchange something with me!”
Chen Bing rolled his eyes. You wanted to loot me just now, and now you still dare to get this crystal!
“I don’t have gold coins!” Elsa did not hesitate and clenched her pockets.
“Who wants your gold coins? We want your rare items, which can be brought back to Homeland.”
Chen Bing patted her head. This girl is no use, but I deem you worthy. One day, you’re gonna be a rich woman!
“Something that can be brought back to Homeland…I only have this.”
Reluctantly, Elsa took out a seed from her pocket and showed it to Chen Bing.
[Item: Sunflower Seed]
[Type: Plant Seed]
[Quality: Dark Gold]
[Requirements: High farming skill level or a worker with a high farming skill level]
[Able to bring back to Homeland: Yes]
[Usage: Bears a sunflower when planted on suitable soil. Used to brew high-level medicine]

Sunflower seeds that could be brought back to Homeland?
This is good stuff!
“Alright, I will trade it for ten seeds.”
Chen Bing nodded, trying his best to blackmail her.
“Ten? Why, the sunflower seed is as rare as the angelic crystal!”
Elsa widened her eyes in protest.
“Look at the size of the angelic crystal; it’s so large compared to the seed, I’ll still be at a loss even if you exchanged it with ten seeds!”
Chen Bing pointed at the angelic crystal and the sunflower crystal while trying his best to deceive her.
Elsa was astonished. How can one be so shameless to compare two different things like that!
It seemed that she had to study harder.
However…
She was Elsa, the youngest genius of the Village of Sages, the strongest-to-be priest of the future world! She would not bow to such cowardice!
